To all whom may concern:

Be it known that BENJAMIN Firmenreise, a subject of the Government ci Russia,re siding at Houston, in the county ci Harris and State of Terras, has invented certain new and useful lmprcvernents in a Hand lm le ment, of which the iollowing is a speci cation.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a hand implement..

The object ci the invention is to provide a manually operated implement, designed to he used tor various domestic purposes as will he more specifically set forth hereinafter in this specication..

With the above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relation to certain novel i'eatures of construction, operation and use, an example ci which is given in this specification, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure A1, is a side elevation ofthe com` plete device.

Figure 2, is a transverse sectional view taken on the'line 2-2,.o Figure-l. Figure 3is a fragmentary view, artially in section, showing another formo lthe device.

Figure 4l, is a transversasectional view,

taken on the line Ll-ll of Figure 3.

Figure 5, is a fragmentary side view of A still another form of the device.

Figure 6, is a sectional View, taken on the line '6--6 ot Figure 7.

Figure 7, is a top plan view of the condrawings, wherein like numerals ci reference designate similar parts in each oi the iigures, the numerals l and 2 relier, respectively, to the handle members, of the implement, which are pivotedly secured togetherlo means of the pin 3, which passes throng suitable bearings in' saidhandles. The re spective handles are extended termin lower and upper jaws 4: and 5, whom inner sides are provided with ohlong recesses 6 retainers, tor an ohjectplaced between said jaws, such as a nut, when it isl desired'to use the im lement as a nutcraclrer, as illustrated in igthe 1913. Serial llo. i.

The form oi implement shown, in. Figure l, has heen specially designed `for use in severine` cuoes of sugar into parte. ln this form, the numeral 8 desi a blade, which is provided with e co lar 9, of form to receive the jew 5, and the numeral l0 designates a receptacle, having the collar ll, of a term designed to receive the `law d. The collars 9 and il, are secured to the respective jaws hy means ci pins l2, l2, which pass through orices therein and project into aligned recesses in the corresponding jaws. The receptacle l0 is ot a size and form to receive a sugar cube 13, and said receptacle is provided with ali ned slots, es ld, to re ceive the blade 8, t is obvious that when the handles l, 2, are forced, together, the blade 8 will operate to sever the ohject placed in the receptacle' l0.

ln Figure 3, l hav'eshown a :term et the device, artieularly adapted for use as a nut crac er. blhe nut to he cracked may he placed in' the'recess t, ci the lower law, and the upper jaw then clamped there against.

en used for this purpose, l have also pro- Sil vided the-shallow cups l5, l5, having the respective collars lo, le, termed integral therewith, to receive the respective jaws t and 5, and which are Isecured thereto h meansoi the pins l2, l2 as ahove explains As is obvious, from ins ection, oi Figure 3,'

these cups are provide to receive the ends of the nut to he cracked, and to hold the same in position through the operation.

ln Figure 5, ll have shown a form ot the device, especially adapted tor use as a lemon squeezer, or other similar purposes. ln this form, the .numeral i7, refers to a shallow receptacle, whose underside has a collar i8,

provided to receive the end 'ot the jaw d, and which is secured to said aw in a manner hereinbetore explained. his container has l a dat upper surface, and the surroundin upstanding marginal dange 19, integre` therewith. The-underside of said container has a `marginal groove 20, provided to reico ceive the marginal dange 21, of the strainer 22. This strainer is formed of perforated material, u. is cup like in form, and is made removable-from the container i7, so as to he readily cleansed. A clampin memloer 23, is provided which has a coar 2d, integral therewith, desied to receive the tree end oi the jaw 5', and which is secured thereto. in the manner hereinherore ex-- plainecl. The lemon is cut in two and the Het side thereof, placed on the container 17, and through the manipuleion 'of the handles l end 2, the member 23 is clamped there against, the luid passing through an opening 25, cut through the hottom of seid container and thence through the strainer 22.

rlfhe implement is held open, that is, the jews thereof are normally held aprir by means of e spring 26, which is coiled around the pin 3, and Whose free ends are extened, and lie in long recesses 27, 2'?, provicle` in ehe inner sides of the handles l end 2.

As shown in Figure 2, the free enel of the handle 2 is formed into e, Cep remover, consisting of the claw 23, which enge-ges egg-einst ehe top of Athe cap zo be removed, and the hook 29, provided zo engage die rim of' seid cap.
